Managing Dysfunctional Breathing and Exercise-induced Laryngeal Obstruction in Adolescent Athletes

Exercise Induced Laryngeal Obstruction (EILO) Clinical Trial

Official title: A Multidimensional Strategy to Managing Dysfunctional Breathing and Exercise-induced Laryngeal Obstruction in Adolescent Athletes

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to assess if a multidimensional individually tailored intervention, including Norwegian Psychomotor Physiotherapy (NPMP), elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and a rehabilitation plan, helped reduce inspiratory distress and dysfunctional breathing in adolescent athletes with EILO. A mixed methods design, which combined qualitative and quantitative research, was used. Data, including subjective experiences of respiratory distress, findings from NPMP body examinations and objective measurements of lung function and aerobic capacity were gathered before and after a five month intervention involving 18 participants.
